Lebanon wins the Hummus war

Back in January 2010 Tourism Minister Fadi Abboud told Future News television that Lebanon will respond to the Israeli challenge and will prepare a new plate of hummus in the spring, to break the Israeli world record for the biggest hummus plate.

Yesterday Lebanon proved Abboud right … Lebanon on Saturday claimed another victory in the continuing battle with Israel over which country can make the largest plate of the chickpea delicacy hummus. The new plate broke all the Guinness record for the world’s largest plate of hummus.
